Is millinery a dying artform?

Hey guys!

Im a long time lurker, first time poster with a small obsession for hats!

Now I feel bad asking for help in my first post but I am hoping you guys could assist me.

Im a student at Heriot Watt University (UK) studying Textile and Fashion Design Management and I'm in my final year. Final year over here means dissertation and I have course decided to look into the history and what lies in the future for millinery.

I'm basically asking if you guys would be willing to spend 10 minutes of your time answering some very simple questions for me.

All responses are anonymous and if you choose to fib, thats ok! Ill never know! Some questions are in UK pounds (£) and I'm very much aware that this is a multi nation forum, so if you guys can guess roughly that would be amazing.

Theres two questionnaires. If you feel they both fit you, then feel free to answer both. One is for the general public and the other is for hat wearers / collectors.

General Public: http://www.eSurveysPro.com/Survey.aspx?id=5933b242-d749-45cd-82b2-4d4f7509a9c0

Hat wearer / collectors: http://www.eSurveysPro.com/Survey.aspx?id=9ef4a106-ed9f-4f33-a55c-37cb17b6b1d6

If you guys have any questions please email me at : jhr2@hw.ac.uk

Thank you for reading through this and again, sorry for asking for help in my first post. As I said before, I've been a long time lurker admiring all the amazing hats some of you ladies and gents own and hope to be a part of this community
